Manufacture of concrete vases and flower pots technology to give improvised forms

In this article I have shown how it is possible without molds to produce a large pot to testify or for landscaping cottage area. In principle, it is possible to make a pot of all sizes with this technology. But there is an easier way of making small relief products casting method using forms that are purchased in any store utensils or hardware store (in the department for gardening).

We buy just such a form of plastic flower. They come with a removable bottom. You need to buy just such.

Knead solution. Composition: 2 parts sand to 1 part cement. Water - depending on the moisture content of sand. But whatever the solution turned out not very liquid. Otherwise, the concrete in the product can crack during curing (especially in hot weather) and the concrete itself will not be durable.

Lubricates the cheapest form of hand cream. Even if you have a lubricant for formwork - it does not help. Oil (on the basis of which is made lubricant for formwork) will not adhere to the plastic and will simply drain away. Here, for better separation of the concrete from the form it is right for hand cream or Vaseline.

Fill the solution into the lower mold. Flatten. This is important because on this plane will be our pot, it will affect its stability

Next, take a plastic flower pot is smaller. Such that would be entered into the first, which we will pour concrete. Examples can be in the store before buying. Also coat with a cream for his hands inside and pour a portion of the concrete in the base form. Obvorachivaem inner pot with stretch film. Or you can put on it a plastic bag. We put into our inside core.

Add the solution and placed into an empty pot stones - is that he had not been squeezed out. Tsentruem inside core, flatten the edges of the future of the pot.

After one day, you can gently remove the product. After another day in the solution was set to pot stand separately molded

It can be cast on such a scheme pots in any form. Just do not forget to lubricate the inner surface of the cream. In order not to stagnate water in pots from over-watering - it is necessary to drill a hole.

There is no desire to buy plastic flower pots - there is another way. Small flowerpot can be produced from 5 L plastic bottle. Preferably from embossed bottle:

We cut the bottle in half. From the top of the cut off too much, that would have been a crater. In the same proportion 2 to 1 breed solution (concrete). It is possible to add a plasticizer, and do it in the midst of - concrete will be stronger. We spread into a "funnel" that will stand for the pot. Lubricate the form need not here because forms in this case, disposable.

Further conventional obvorachivaem 3 L glass jar in a stretch-film (or also put on her plastic bag) impose a concrete form, put jar with water poured into it. Otherwise, it will push the solution. Tsentruem. A day can be removed. But there is a possibility that the glass will break the bank when removing.

I would use a 3 liter plastic bottle with water. Pour out the water and pulled out a bottle. I filled the form for the fence blocks.

But plastic bottle (the lower part of it) will have neatly cut. She raised portion will not be allowed to release the product.

Next you need to fix the two halves of the pot. This can be done through the solution. But this method of fixing is not a long time. It is better to carefully drill a hole in the top and the bottom, too, in a drilled hole to insert a powerful anchor. And placing a washer to fix this design. Also in the connection of concrete parts can be added solution.

Bole whole process in detail you can see in this video:

Another way how improvised, sand and cement to make beautiful pots for the garden - it's pot production technology of cloth and concrete:

It made all too easy. Take a burlap or cloth with a large filament mat. Dilute concrete (2 to 1), coated with the fabric on both sides and a tight-fitting plastic its desired shape, a small bucket. Tied with a rope, too, missed in the concrete segment of the rope. It turns out an interesting kind of pot.

A slightly different way, where the plastic molding, the bucket is removed:

Take small bags made of burlap, impregnate them with concrete. Further, we impose a small amount into the concrete and inserted into plastic bags for a pot of flowers, a small bucket, wrap stretch film. It all depends on the bag size. Concrete must encircle the entire surface of the bucket, to inflate the bag. Tied with a thick rope, too, soaked and smeared concrete. Or leave it without soaking. But then it is a few years can be destroyed.

After curing and removing buckets - stone bags obtained both an interesting installation for flowers at the cottage.

The next option to create a decorative vases "stone fabric" to testify:

Take the pot, put it upside down on the stick (but vertically). And covered with burlap soaked in concrete or openwork cloth. Cover with polyethylene that would Beto lost moisture. After curing - the pot is taken out (but you can leave). The product obtained fragile, but beautiful.

The manufacturing process shown in this sequence:

As you can see, these tips and techniques how to make exclusive and durable concrete flower pots - simple. They can use any hostess. Dilute the concrete and can be a strong half. And then - the case for women's creativity.
